This is a technique that companies and firms have used for
a long time. This helps in ranking activities according to
priorities.
A- Tasks that are perceived as being urgent and important.
B- Tasks that are important but not urgent
C- Tasks that are unimportant but urgent
D- Tasks that are unimportant and not urgent

14. Pareto analysis
The Pareto Principle is the idea that 80% of tasks can be
completed in 20% of the given time and the remaining 20%
of tasks will take up to 80% of the time.
This analysis categorizes tasks into two parts:
• High priority
• Low priority
The categories are based on the productivity involved with
each task.

15. POSEC METHOD
P- Prioritize your time and define your life by goals
O- Organize things you have to accomplish regularly to
achieve success (academics, family, finances, etc.).
S- Streamline things you may not like to do but you have
to do (Assignment, house chores).

do but they are not very urgent.

that make a difference.
